"Hi I'm Terri Turco and we're talking about wardrobe for women over thirty. These are basic pieces that you need to have in your wardrobe because at the age of thirty hopeful you have been through a lot of different trends but you are really trying to build some good staples that you're spending money that you can wear year after year. Now one of most important coats you can buy is a basic trench. The trench coats had never gone out of style in was first developed in the 1920's. It comes in a number of different lengths and color but I am going to give you a few tips on how to purchase the prefect trench. First of all a trench is always double- breasted which means there's always two rows of buttons and that tends to be the staple. A lot of times they have tabs at the top. That's good as long as they end at the shoulder seam. A basic trench should fit you extremely well it should drape you meaning their is not pulling where the but is. It should lay flat. A good length is right at the knee. This is probably the most important thing I can tell you is the trench coat should have the button closures and you want to sure its lined. This is just a basic lining but some coats come with a zip-out lining. If you are in colder climate and you travel a lot or you are just in a cold climate you want to use it as an every coat you need a zip-out lining. That gives you options to wear it in cold or warmer weather. If it's for rain you want to be waterproof."
